* SF = Safety Factor – SF numbers are based on 7000 psi compressive strength (The minimum requirement of ASTM C1208). NO-DIG Pipe consistently exceeds the minimum requirement.
Maintenance considerations for NO-DIG pipe are consistent with all vitrified clay pipe installations. For more information, see the Vitrified Clay Pipe Engineering Manual from the National Clay Pipe Institute.
- Use with the Pilot Tube Method of Guided Boring for on-target line and grade
- Unsurpassed axial strengths
- 316 stainless steel collars
- Available in 1- and 2- meter standard lengths
- Chemically resistant
- Works below the water table
- Exceeds the standard for ASTM C1208 Standard Specification for Vitrified Clay Pipe and Joints for Use in Microtunneling, Sliplining, Pipe Bursting, and Tunnels
- Highly sustainable – doesn’t degrade over time
- May reduce the need for lift stations
